I actually hate all these GPT (get paid to) social sites like Yuwie, Peoplestring and anything else that claims to be "like Facebook, but better because you make money doing what you normally would do". The truth is people go on FB because they WANT to and they have actual friends they know on there. All the other sites are just more money making scams.
So, why am I writing a post about Sidetick.com now? Well, the big problem I have with those types of sites is how little they pay. You usually have to interact every day for a month just to make a dollar. I've seen forum posts where members said how they were active on these websites, but made mere pennies and many don't even make the cashout threshold. It just seems like a huge waste of time.
I figured ST was the same, so I passed it up, but a good friend of mine joined and has already made over $9 in just a couple of days! She also has only spent a total of 10 minutes on the site, including 4 minutes to make a profile, so it wasn't like she spent 8 hours a day trying to reach that amount.
By my calculations that works out to over $100+ a month for maybe 2-4 hours of playing around on the site watching videos, listening to music, creating polls, joining discussions, leaving comments, etc. Not bad. Better than a PTC.
I think they have a really stupid website name (sounds like an insect club), but if you can make a few extra bucks for very little work, then I'm all for giving it a shot.
You can join Sidetick here and I'll be sure to post proof that they pay in an upcoming blogpost. I have lots of new discoveries to tell you about, so look for those in the near future!
** UPDATE: I have posted the 1st Sidetick payment proof here. It's a legit program!

My Worst Month Ever!
I apologize for not writing anything in awhile, but June was a BAD month for a number of reasons and I really didn't feel like blogging about it while it was happening. It wasn't my worst month ever for earnings, but it was just crappy all around.
First, my health is poor. There's something seriously wrong, but the doctors haven't quite figured it out yet. It feels like I have something similar to Parkinsons or MS or some kind of condition that makes me weak and shaky sometimes. There are days I can barely stand up and I just don't feel like doing anything.
Second, my outside well stopped working and I had no water for about a week. The entire yard had to be dug up and all the pipes and pump had to be replaced, which cost 1000's of dollars.
Then everything online suffered because I was too sick to update anything. Also, Cpalead announced a major site policy change where we couldn't use movie or tv show sites with the high paying surveys, so the income on 2 of my biggest sites dropped significantly. There were even a couple of days where those sites made ZERO income...yes, that's 0.00!!
The biggest blow came with Offerpal screwing me out of almost $3500! I tried contacting them to find out what the hell happened, but of course I got no response at all. I don't know if it was something wrong I did, or something my site members did, or if they were having trouble getting paid themselves from the advertisers or what. All I know it that the last 2 checks never showed up, so I removed their offers from my sites.
I read on many forums that a good CPA network will let you know if there is a problem and work with you to resolve it, and even Cpalead has a section where they list any bad leads you have (I've never had any so far there). However, with Offerpal there is no way to find out the problem, so I have no idea. They knew my site url because it was printed on my checks, so if they had an issue with a reward site then they should have told me. Transparency is important when working with any network.
I also read that some networks will pay you a couple of times before scamming you, so they get more when you are working harder to make money for them. They didn't seem like that kind of company at first, but they've been giving the run around to a friend of mine for over 2 months now, so maybe they ARE like that after all. Anyway, I can no longer recommend them and I advise everyone to be careful if you've recently joined them.
And that sums up my worst month ever. July is my birthday, so maybe if someone leaves a comment wishing me a happy one then it will make me feel better...anyone?
